Trained Men in Railroading.

The New York Sun, in an interesting ar
ticle entitled, "The Science and Art of
Railroading," presents some important facts
to show the advantage of having railroads
managed by trained and practical men.
While men are trained for the professions,
and for about all the manufacturing indus
tries, very little attention is paid to training
them in railroading
The Sun calls attention to men who man
age some of the leading railroads of the
country, and argues that those who have re
ceived practical instruction in their business
make by far the most successful and salts
factory officials. Their roads are always in
first-class order and are, therefore, always
in condition to respond promptly to any I'M
usual amount of business. There is
less danger of accidents upon such roads,
and better return is generally obtained
from the money invested in them. OF
course there are roads managed by men who
were trained as lawyers, merchants, etc,
which are successful. but the number is not
large.
The Sun refers to the change in the man.
agement of the Georgia Central and says:
The recent election of Gen. +. Porter
Alexander, a distinguished graduate of
West Point, and for many years a close
student of scientific railroading, as Presi-
dent of the Georgia Central, and his selection
of Mr.. M. $. Belknap, graduate of pEcoLe
Potytechniq1le of Paris, as General Manager,
may be considered as the most conspicuous
effort of the day to secure in the South a
management combining the highest tech
nical education with the practical knowledge
gained by long experience. The result can
scarcely be doubtful, although it is certain
that many railroads are financially success
full without such management, while not a
few have failed with it."
There is no doubt that the percentage of
men trained for their railroad work is
greater now than ever before, and there is
good reason for thinking that it will in
crease. Experience shows that, as a rule
men are valuable to great railroad corpora
tions in proportion to thepreparatory train
ing they have had in the line of their work.

A AIiStrial.

The Fogarty trial ended in disagreement
of the jury This result was not a surprise
When an agreement was not reached within
few hours after the jury retired a mistrial
was expected. When the trial began few,
if any, thought there would be disagree
ment, and when the case was given to the
jury every fair-minded man must have ex-
pected verdict quickly
There is no fault to be found with the So
icitor General The case for the State was
ably and clearly presented and there is no
fault to be found with the Judge. The scales
of justice were held evenly and the law was
stated plainly. Is there any fault to be
found with the jurys That is question
which every citizen must answer for him
self. 1t is a question that concerns
the whole community and is well
worth thinking about. We don't want to
comment on the case, because the defendant
is soon to be tried again, and we wish him to
have fair trial, but the thought cannot be
avoided that it is remarkable that a disa-
greement among the jury was possible when
there was apparently but one opinion enter
tanned by the public.
Those who think of this case seriously
will wonder whether there isn't something
wrong with the moral tone of the com
munity. And let them think of some other
things. One of them is this: Is it right for
influential citizens to shirk jury duty!
Another is this: Do all of those who claim
to be good citizens do all they can to make
crime odious?

An unfounded Disnatch.

1t turns out that the Washington CORE
spondcnt Of the Missouri Republican, who
sent to his paper the statement that the
President had announced that he would not
accept u denomination il it were offered to
him, did not have very solid foundation
for his dispatch. The Senator to whom he
referred as having had tho remarkable
conversation in question with the Presi-
dent is Mr.. Vest of Missouri
Mr. Vest did have talk with the Presi-
dent about appointments, and the question
Of a denomination was spoken of during the
conversation. The Senator says, however,
that the President did not tell him that he
would not accept a denomination, and that
he is not responsible for the publication in
the newspapers which puts the President in
the position of saying that he doesn't want a
second term and will not be a candidate for
the Presidency again.
Mr.. Vest believes, however, from what
he heard the President say that be is not
anxious for a second term, and that he will
make no effort for a denomination. There is
good reason for thinking that this is the
Presidents true position. He is trying to
give the country clean, safe, economical ad-
ministration, and the people believe he is
succeeding. He is not making appointments
with any other aim than that of having the
laws administered honestly and faithfully,
and he will be satisfied if he is permitted to
return to private life at the end of his pres
ent term.
1t is not probable, however that he will
rnfJISp q Ia will ha
nominated unless it is believed that his pros
poets of being elected are more promising
than those of any other Democrat, and he
would not be at liberty to refuse to be a
candidate under such circumstances.
1t is noticeable that the little opposition
to him that has shown itself from time to
time is gradually disappearing. This is be-
cause the dissatisfied politicians are begin
ming to find out that the people regard him
with favor.

Capt. Richardson Owned the Bogus
Ingots.
From the Nev York Tribune.

From the Netc York Tribune
The owner of the gold ingots deposited at the
Assay Office few days ago and found On ex
animation to be bogus visited the ASSAY Office
yesterday morning. It was Capt Ben Richard.
son, of Harlem famous California pioneer
who lives in an old house in One -hundred-and.
sixteenth street, near Third avenue, and in late
years has been distinguished principally as the
owner Of a coach which once belonged TO Wash
ngton. II has been his habit for many years to
take part in great paradeS, seated in the anti
quated vehicle. His wealth, as well as the
possession of the Washington coach have made
him an interesting feature on many occasions.
The old man is frequently seen in Wall street.
and it is said that he is not averse, once in a
while, to taking flyer in the stock market.
He is estimated to be worth several millions
and if common report may be believed has a
keen appreciation of the value of every dollar
of his fortune.
Mr.. Richardson did not think it worth his
while, however. to take away the precious gold
bars which he had brought a few days before to
the Assay Office. He was convinced by Rehner
Martin that they were comparatively worthless
and after one fond look at them he left the
building without making known his wishes in
regard to what may be placed among the many
curiOStieS III his home. Mr.. Richardson said in
reply to persistent inquiries that he had bought
the bricks for $1,000 from two men who pre-
tended to be miners. The bricks were the pro
duct of a Western mine, the name and place of
which the men were anxious to keep secret
until the value of the ore had been established.
Little samples were bored out of the bricks, &C
cording TO the usual rules of the game. and of
course they were found on assay to be pure
gold After this careful examination the old
Forty miner became the owner of the bricks
II is believed that Capt. Richardson spent much
time yesterday in fruitlesS hunt for the two
western miners, whose mine is still unknown
and namelesS.
The bogus bricks were shown freely at the
Assay Office. They are coated with the cheap
bronzing preparation frequently applied to iron
work

And his willy clique,
Followed by motley pageant
Noted for their cheek
And the man with scheme financial

Nova Scotia and Annexation

The people OF Nova Scotia appear to think
that there would be no trouble in uniting
their fortunes with this country, provided
they could sever their relations to the Do
minion and Great Britain The resolution
introduced into the provincial assembly a
few days ago, providing for an inquiry into
the financial and political condition of the
province, with the view of repeating the
Union and asking permission of this govern
ment to become one of the United States,
shows that they are becoming prepared for
political change of some sort!
They are dissatisfied now, and have been
for long time, with the government at
Ottawa They do not think they are given
the consideration they are entitled to. They
are quite heavily taxed and are an impor-
tant part of the Union, and vet their influ-
ence in the government amounts to very
little. Their interests are overlooked.
Neither Nova Scotia nor any other part
of the Dominion has ever received from this
country any encouragement of the annexa-
tion idea. Annexation has been discussed
ir Canada and in this country, but there has
b,-,l developed in this country no marked
sentiment in favor of acquiring territory to
the north of US Tho fact is, the United
States have all the territory they
want at present and don't care about
acquiring more. Nothing would be CAMEL
b. this country in acquiring Canada Tho
people Of Canada would, of course, gain
something by annexation. If Canada were
10 become part Of this country Canadian
manufactures and industries Of all sort,
would be twice rs prosperous Us uhey are
now The people would be much more con
tented. That they are dissatisfied is
shown by the fnct that many thousands OF
them emigrate to this country every year
There may be time when Canada and
the United States viii come together
They differ very little now in their laws
and customs, and the difference Is gradually
growing less marked. II they are ever

efforts OF the people vi Tie Dominion. IL
